Solana (SOL) dipped to $145 amid network outage rumors in early 2025, but recovery whispers echo by May 7. Trading volume spiked 20% post-dip, signaling buyer interest. Repair efforts, detailed in recent updates, restored 99% uptime, boosting confidence. SOL’s cup-and-handle pattern hints at bullish momentum, with support at $166. A rebound to $200 seems plausible by mid-2025, as DeFi projects return, drawn by low fees. Yet, a specter of doubt lingers—past shutdowns haunt the network’s reputation. If trading volume sustains, SOL could defy its ghosts, a phoenix rising from digital ashes, but another outage could plunge it back to $130, a shadowed abyss.
